here's a citation for your smooth change:

In Qt Quick 2.0, this property has minimal impact on performance.

at which point it makes sense.

It is now hardcoded to 2000s which is a little bit slower than the original one (250 times 6) but it's much more comfortable that way imho. Also turning off "smooth" doesn't really help Animators anyway, and cleanup, alwaysRunToEnd should suffice.
